Please see the following link which indicates that 'bumerke' can relate to several things not just houses, but as a mark of property.http://www.cappelen-krefting.no/hans/bumerkerinorge.htm

On the other hand, if we're talking about some machine translation of "bow markings" on a vessel, then it's "baugmerke" and not "bumerke" in Norwegian. I can imagine Google Translate erroneously translating as "bumerke" via "bow".
